Hello,

Im installing a new dell laptop. Mostly the install has been routine.
I cannot seem to get ati-drivers to install.

bugs.gentoo.org did not reveal anything useful (not from what I read).

Here is the error:

/var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.35.5/work/common/lib/
modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/firegl_public.c:

make: *** [kmod_build] Error 2

!!! ERROR: x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.35.5 failed.

kmod_build.

so I thought I'd just add an entry to /etc/portage/package.keywords and try
another version (8.39.4) that works fine on another system.

On the del laptop I cannot get the system to try another ati-drivers version,
despite addiing this to the /etc/portagae/package.keywords file:
x11-drivers/ati-drivers ~amd64

Identical to what I have on other systems. I lookedin /usr/portage/distfiles
and only found this ati file on the portable:
ati-driver-installer-8.35.5-x86.x86_64.run

so I downloaded the other files from a similar amd 64 system where I use
ati-drivers:
ati-driver-installer-8.27.10-x86_64.run
ati-driver-installer-8.30.3.run
ati-driver-installer-8.32.5-x86.x86_64.run
ati-driver-installer-8.33.6-x86.x86_64.run
ati-driver-installer-8.34.8-x86.x86_64.run
ati-driver-installer-8.36.5-x86.x86_64.run
ati-driver-installer-8.37.6-x86.x86_64.run
ati-driver-installer-8.39.4-x86.x86_64.run
ati-driver-installer-8.40.4-x86.x86_64.run

Still I compiling ati-drivers-8.36.5 fails and I cannot even get the
dell laptop to try another version of ati-drivers. I recompiled gcc,
just for grins. Did nothing to help (4.1.2).

revdep-rebuild comes back clean. Since it is a new install, I mostly
missed something, xorg-x11 is there. No clue.

Ideas?

James
